    Tarzan and Doc Savage actor Ron Ely has died

    Ron Ely, who played Tarzan in the 1960s TV series, has died aged 86


    The 6'4", muscular actor helped form the modern image of author Edgar Rice Burroughs' early 20th century fictional creation, Tarzan.

    He also played the title character in the 1975 action film Doc Savage: The Man Of Bronze.

    He said in interviews he did his own stunts on Tarzan and worked directly with the tigers, chimpanzees and other animals that were the shirtless character's friends.

    RIP, I remember watching his Tarzan show as a kid. But tigers in Africa? I'm confused.

    It was the 2nd best Tarzan, the 1960s series (Johnny Weissmuller was the best IMO).
